Amazing Red's Feast of Ravenmoor (Inactive)

Game Master Daxter

Darius also misses. The scarecrow continues to beat on Marduk.

Slam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Slam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Make another save vs fear DC14. Party is up.

Taking a pause to make sure their arm is in, Senketsu leans back and thrusts forth once more with the dark metal point of their lance, using the Scarecrows fascination with Marduk to their advantage.

lance,power attack, flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9 for damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Unfortunately, Yurei slips in the uneven ground and Senketsu's lance goes wide, dropping it to the ground, Senketsu urges Yurei forwards to attack the scarecrow whilst drawing their Longsword.

Standard to attack, Move to draw longsword, Free to order Yurei in

handle animal, DC 10: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

With a soft growl, the Albino wolf pounces forwards, aiming to sink their teeth into the straw and wood contraption.

If that hits, free trip attack: Trip vs CMD: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Marduk is strongly hit and shakes even more! She stays paralyzed by fear!

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Will save 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Medic!

Hyglak seeing the scarecrow out up Marduk and moves to help her before she dies. "Shake out of this Woman!" He shouts before saying a short prayer and touching her on the back.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

I used my Pearl of Power to Cast Cure Light Wounds again for the day.

Both Senketsu and his mount miss as Marduk is held still by fear. Hyglak calls upon the power of Cayden to heal the ranger. Darius!

Darius sees his allies faltering and tries to predict his enemies movements so as to place his shot perfectly. He focuses for a brief moment then takes another shot with his bow. Using archaeologist's luck.

bow attack, point blank, bless, luck: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 25

damage, point blank, luck: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9

"This creature is tougher than it looks!"

Darius hits with his arrow but this creature is supremely tough and fights on.

Slam vs Senketsu: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Slam vs Senketsu: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

2 will saves vs fear from Senketsu DC14 or be frozen in terror, if you fail you get another save at the end of your turn. Party is up!

will save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
will save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

The creatures two limbs slam deep into the Wayang's armour, causing them to bruise badly and cough up blood. Freezing in terror the Wayang shakes unable to fight back.

HP 4/20

end of turn

will save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Their master struck and gripping tightly to the Wolf's saddle, Yurei growls at the scarecrow creature before following its last order, and attempts to sink its fangs into the Scarecrow once more.

bite, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Free trip attack trip vs CMD: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Will save2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Marduk is still paralyzed in awe.

Thanks for the healing!

Hyglak says a prayer as he grabs his holy symbol on his shoulder. "Protect us Accidental God!!"

Cast - Protection from Evil Communal - will touch himself, Mardunk and the Wayang. Everyone should get a new chance to Save vs. Fear I think.

Protection From Evil doesn't work like that. However your variant channeling would give everyone another save if you would like to swap actions.

Protection From Evil doesn't work like that. However your variant channeling would give everyone another save if you would like to swap actions.

I have no channels left I used them to heal us before going to sleep and we got waken up in the middle of the night.

Ah ok, well you can still change your action then.

Ah ok, well you can still change your action then.

I am good. Thanks

Ok. Darius is up!

With his focus still fully on the creature Darius takes another shot with his bow.

bow attack,point blank, bless, luck: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 31

damage,point blank, luck: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8

Darius lands another shot with his bow but it does not fell the construct. It in turn steps over and slams at Hyglak.

Slam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 You know the deal.
Slam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Party is up!

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25

Hyglak grunts at the pain of the constructs fist. "You hit like my old Nanna!!" He says as he steps back drop draws a wand and touches Senketsu.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

will save 1: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
willsave 2: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

Senketsu snaps out of the Scarecrow's terror inducing touch, commanding Yurei to keep striking the creature.

HP 6/20

Yurei continues to growl and seems determined to gut the creature, visibly glad that their rider was moving once more.

bite, bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 and trip: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Will save2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Marduk eventually snaps out of her paralyzed state.

The mighty Yurei finally downs the menacing construct! Combat over.

Hyglak walks over to the thing and gives it a kick then looks up at the others. "Something is wrong with this village." He shakes his head as he walks around using his healing wand on everyone.

Hyglak Healing

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Marduk Healing

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Senkentsu Healing

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

That should do for now.

Not fully understanding what happened, Marduk shakes her head and yawns, her menacing jaw wide open.

"So wat 'bout dat gurl, Darius? She attacked ya?"

"I am very glad to see you are all OK. That magically animated scarecrow was certainly hitting hard and took many arrows without falling."

He checks over the remains for any clues as to who or what animated the creature. He replies to Marduk while picking through the straw and cloth.

"I believe she was planning to hand me over to someone to be killed in her stead, which was not the night i was planning for!" he says with a very low commitment laugh.

Darius finds no mundane evidence of what animated the creature.

Assuming you keep exploring, twisted and entwined vines of dead ivy drape the rotting columns and broken boards of this rickety porch, creating a thick curtain of vegetation. A door hanging from rusty hinges is barely visible through a thick drapery of ivy, the only visible means of entry into the otherwise totally boarded-up house. Anyone who pushes through the vines up to the porch finds a deformed human skeleton on the boards, mostly overgrown by the vines.

When you go inside...
A cold hearth dominates this large room. Between the mostly collapsed internal walls and separate jumbles of crumbled furniture, it seems that this large room may have once been several smaller rooms. A rickety ladder leads to what looks like an upper loft above, visible through several large holes in the overhanging ceiling above. A large wooden cage sits in the southwest corner of the room. It seems your fight has caused a trio to investigate!

Party is up!

As the party begins to search the place, Marduk will use her wand of CLW on herself and offer it to the party members if they need to.

CLW Wand, two charges: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6) + 2 = 13

-----------

Once inside, before the trio, Marduk draws her weapon I think we would not kept our weapons out and steps closer to strike at the man before her.

+1 Orc Double Axe (Single attack), PA: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 1 = 9 for Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 3 = 14

Senketsu pets Yurei behind the ear, congratulating their companion on the finishing blow on the construct. Nodding their thanks to Hyglak's use of healing the Wayang smiles and leads Yurei on to explore further.

I will knock the two Charges off my wand, thanks Hyglak!

Into the room of the building, Senketsu exclaims at the sight of the masked men bursting through and steers Yurei forward, striking out with their Lance.

lance power attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 for damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Oh, I just noticed that you ninja'd me yesterday, Hyglak. That's why I didn't see your post. :)

Hyglak moves into the room farther, draws his long spear and begins a tell. "I remember seeing masks like that at a festival that little kids would dress up like .... "

Sermonic Performance: Inspire Bravery +1 to hit and damage

Darius stays to the back of the room while trying to get a clear shot at the enemy engaging Marduk. Once clear he fires an arrow.

bow attack, point blank, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 28

damage roll, point blank: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Marduk misses while Senketsu skewers a cultist. Hyglak inspires his party while Darius fires an arrow into a cultist.

One cultist steps towards Darius to fight him while the other steps into the room to attack Marduk.

Vs Darius: 1d20 ⇒ 8
1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Vs Marduk: 1d20 ⇒ 1
1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Party is up!

Senketsu leads Yurei across the hall, the blood of their felled cultist soaking the dark iron head of the Wayang's fearsome lance. Getting easily in range in the small front room, Senketsu leans back in their saddle and lunges forwards with the Lance.

lance, power attack, inspired: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23 for damage: 1d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12

Marduk laugh at the one that tried pitifully to attack her and unleashes her fury!

"Never try to attack Marduk!"

+1 Orc Double Axe, PA, IC: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 1 + 1 = 24 for Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14
+1 Orc Double Axe (second end), PA, IC: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 1 + 1 = 11 for Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11
Bite, PA, IC: 1d20 + 2 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 1 + 1 = 20 for B/P/S: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 8

I'm saying this out of character because Marduk is too thrilled by the idea of blood to think about it, but aren't these the "not-so-bad guys"? Shel's mother, Anya and Shel? Aren't we committing a murder hobo?

Hyglak stops his story and moves to help Marduk with the cultist.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Inspire: +1 to hit and damage still up for 2 more rounds due to Lingering Song Feat.

Darius can confirm that they are not the same people who attacked him.

Senketsu skewers a cultist and Marduk cuts one in half taking a bite out of it before it falls to the ground. Combat over. after you heal, where would you like to go?

If unmasked the party does recognize them as townsfolk though none that they talked to directly.

and he does just that.

"Although they are dressed in a similar costume, these are not the people who attacked me earlier. It seems this is some form of cult that is twisting the worship of Desna into something i have not seen before."

Nodding his head at Darius's statements. "Yes twisted is right. Maybe these men have some clues on them to what we are dealing with and where I lost friend has disappeared too." Hyglak begins to search the bodies.

Take a 20 for a 23 Perception

The cultists have little on them save their sickles and their robes/masks.

Senketsu nods enthusiastically at the deductions of their allies, the situation seeming to make sense to the young Wayang, though they are obviously uncomfortable with taking the lives of the villagers.

"Hyglak can you stabilise them? if not this one will use their wand to help, maybe misguided? The mushrooms were drugs?"

Confused, Senketsu starts to explore the rest of the building, to try to find clues of what they were attempting to achieve here.

Tell me which rooms you want to investigate first on the map.

K4 Before moving to K5

I'm happy with that as the plan.

Same here

"Lemme open daway!" shouts Marduk stumbling inside the room and heading towards the one Senketsu mentioned.

K4
Broken chairs, old straw-filled mattresses, and water stained, moldering quilts litter this room. There are a few lit candles across the room near the boarded up window.

Marduk stumbles into the room and her weight is too much for the severely water damaged flooring as it gives away.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Luckily she is quick enough to jump back into the hallway saving herself from a nasty splinter-filled fall.

K5
To the south, this long room is empty save for a large mound of compost covered with tiny black mushrooms heaped nearly to the ceiling in the southeast corner of the room, while to the north, an old kitchen seems to have been repurposed into some sort of indoor garden. A workbench cluttered with pottery stills and glass alembics stands below small alcoves filed with vials and beakers. Dozens of clay vessels rest haphazardly on wooden boxes, each sprouting neatly-pruned shrubs or large, exotic mushrooms. They appear surprisingly well-tended, given the state of the rest of the building, though the roots of several have burst through their pots. An examination of the plants growing here reveals a large collection of poisonous mushrooms and other strange fungi, including several containers of pale blue mold.

Also present here are four strange puff ball-like spore cases, gray and the size of a man’s fist.

Despite its disgusting use and rustic appearance, this room contains a masterwork alchemy lab worth 200 gp if recovered. There are also 8 doses of blue whinnis poison, 5 vials of alchemist’s fie, 2 potions of shield of faith +2, 2 potions of neutralize poison, and a potion of cure moderate wounds.

Marduk is glad her reflexes allowed her to dodge the trap. She's clueless about the mold and the general aspect of the room.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 Almost got it :D

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Moving on to the next and last room. This windowless room is lit by a single brass lantern hanging from a rusty nail on the northern wall. Dozens, perhaps hundreds of moths crawl throughout the ceiling’s rotting rafters and on the moldering curtains of boarded windows, the disturbance of their movements causing eerie shadows to wiggle on every surface. Old floorboards have been ripped up in the room’s corner, allowing a flight of earthen steps to lead down into the ground. In a corner of this room is a large spider feasting on a pig. There is a gleam of intelligence in its eyes as it drops the pig and advances on new prey.

Marduk and Hyglak are up!

"Beware! Da pig changed into a spider!"

After that, she charges into battle.

+1 Orc Double Axe (Single attack), PA, charge: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 1 + 2 = 12 for Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 3 = 13

Current AC is 17
